Moods of the Moon

What moods, oh moon, do you display tonight for a sinister shadow passes over your face. Does your crimson stare reveal an angry trace? Eclipsed by earth, your lunar madness will not abate. Are you so vexed by the sun and the earth? Annoyed that their alignment has blocked your view of stars and space, for to gaze upon the universe magnificent is your desire, your passion true.

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!

Laura, I like to stare into each mood from the moon. My daughter mentioned sometime last month, why the moon is sad and happy sometimes. LOL, I had no idea what she was talking about, until she pointed the moon looming down at us. Thanks for the epic read. LINDA
